How do you keep the gum chewing public out of
the way?
The late George Carlin said it best “it’s a private club, and you ain’t invited!”
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”......
Arnold Twinby. He’s a renowned historian
and this is what Twinby said:
“I will hereby repeat that we are at present working discretely, but with
all our might, to rest this mysterious political force called sovereignty out
of the clutches of the local and national states of the world. At all times we
are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands.”
They
use partisan politics as a gimmick to manipulate the
thinking and the loyalties and the activities of the
common man.
The second thing to know is that they are
elitists. They intend to rule the world -- for the
world’s own good of course, you understand, yet
they really believe that their vision of the New
World Order, based on the model of collectivism,
is the highest morality and they intend to use any
method whatsoever to bring that about. That’s
their mentality. They are totally ruthless and if it’s
necessary to put innocent people in prison, so be
it.
How do you keep the gum chewing public out of
the way? Quigley says to perpetuate the deception
of democracy, to allow people to continue to think
that they are participating in their own political
destiny, all we have to do is create two political
parties and control them both and let the idiots
jump from one party to the next and choose one
candidate over the other, as long as they never get
out of that two box trap that we set for them. Let
them really battle each other on secondary issues,
yet when it comes to the final end game of building
a New World Order—building a New World Order
based on the model of collectivism—all candidates
in both parties must be in total agreement. That’s
the Quigley formula.
That’s American politics, ladies and gentlemen.
It’s a phony wrestling match, and these guys are
in it and they can hardly wait until the American
people are so dumbed down and so passive that
they will accept electronic voting machines to tell
them how they voted, and both political parties are
in on that at the top. Now there’s quite a grassroots
movement to expose and to reverse all this, yet
you’ll find that this is coming from the grassroots.
There’s no support whatsoever from the top of
either political party.
Little kids in the first grade classroom voting
on the gender of a kitten are more apt to come up
with the right answer, than the American people
voting on political parties or candidates without
any knowledge of political principles whatsoever.
The kids stand a better chance. And so we’re like
these tennis balls being thrown back and forth,
back and forth. Well, the players can win a game,
but the tennis ball never wins. And that’s where we
are today.
And so we come to the end. What is the
solution? Well, are you ready for this? There isn’t
any. Ask anyone -- they’ll tell you it’s all over.
Collectivism has won. We are serfs in a modern,
high-tech feudalism. Our lords and masters control
us, they control our money, they control our media,
they control our political parties, they control our
educational institutions, they control the places
where we work, they control everything -- they
control the military, they control the police. You
think we’re going to change this? Those who
benefit from this are too comfortable and happy
with it, and those who suffer under it are afraid to
speak out for fear they will be punished. So it’s all
over! Get used to it.
Now wait a minute! I just had an idea. What
would happen if just two percent of the American
people came together, and knowing what we’ve
been talking about, they were determined to
defeat this monster? Just two percent! What if
they understood the principles of freedom? What
if they had a creed of freedom and really knew
what freedom was based upon and cared enough
to study it and to teach it to their kids? What if they
joined together in a network involving people with
similar ideas? Do you think if we did that, we could
defeat this monster? Yes, I think so too. In fact, I
know we can. If you know what to look for and you
know what the secret is, it’s easy.

Herding the Sheep
from Washingtons Blog
Financial insider and commentator Yves Smith wrote an essay last week entitled "MSM Reporting as Propaganda" arguing that the government has been using propaganda to make people think that things are getting better, no one is angry, and - therefore - no one should get upset:
Is Smith right? And even if she is, isn't "propaganda" too strong a word?The message, quite overtly, is: if you are pissed, you are in a minority. The country has moved on. Things are getting better, get with the program...Per the social psychology research, this “you are in a minority, you are wrong” message DOES dissuade a lot of people. It is remarkably poisonous. And it discourages people from taking concrete action.
Think Positive
Sure, William K. Black - professor of economics and law, and the senior regulator during the S & L crisis - says that that the government's entire strategy now - as during the S&L crisis - is to cover up how bad things are ("the entire strategy is to keep people from getting the facts").
Admittedly, 7 out of the 8 giant, money center banks went bankrupt in the 1980's during the "Latin American Crisis", and the government's response was to cover up their insolvency.It's true that Business Week wrote on May 23, 2006:
President George W. Bush has bestowed on his intelligence czar, John Negroponte, broad authority, in the name of national security, to excuse publicly traded companies from their usual accounting and securities-disclosure obligations.I can't deny that the Tarp Inspector General said that Paulson and Bernanke falsely stated that the big banks receiving Tarp money were healthy, when they were not.
Okay, the government and Wall Street have traditionally tried to dispense happy talk when there is an economic crash, and Arianna Huffington recently pointed out:
There is something in the current DC/NY culture that equates a lack of unthinking boosterism with a lack of patriotism. As if not being drunk on the latest Dow gains is somehow un-American.
And I'll give you that a recent Pew Research Center study on the coverage of the crisis found that the media has largely parroted what the White House and Wall Street were saying.The Other Guy
And the whole word propaganda is a Nazi, communist kind of thing which has no place in the same sentence as America. Right?
Granted, famed Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein says the CIA has already bought and paid for many successful journalists.
And sure, the New York Times discusses in a matter-of-fact way the use of mainstream writers by the CIA to spread messages.
True, a 4-part BBC documentary called the "Century of the Self" shows that an American - Freud's nephew, Edward Bernays - created the modern field of manipulation of public perceptions, and the U.S. government has extensively used his techniques (but the BBC isn't American, so it doesn't count).
I won't deny that the Independent discusses allegations of American propaganda (but that's a British paper, doesn't count).
And (ho hum) one of the premier writers on journalism says the U.S. has used widespread propaganda.
And (are we still talking about this?) an expert on propaganda testified under oath during trial that the CIA employs THOUSANDS of reporters and OWNS its own media organizations (the expert has an impressive background).
And (I can't believe we're still talking about this) while the U.S. government has repeatedly claimed that it was launching propaganda programs solely at foreign enemies, it has actually used them against American citizens. For example:
- In 2002, the Pentagon announced that it was considering spreading false propaganda in the foreign press. However, the military has spread propaganda within the U.S. in an operation so aggressive that one participant, a military analyst, called it "psyops on steroids"
- Raw Story confirmed yesterday the use of propaganda on Americans
-
The U.S. government long ago announced its intention to "fight the net".
- As revealed by an official Pentagon report signed by Rumsfeld called "Information Operations Roadmap":
And (when's the next episode of American Idol on?) CENTCOM announced in 2008 that a team of employees would be "[engaging] bloggers who are posting inaccurate or untrue information, as well as bloggers who are posting incomplete information."The roadmap [contains an] acknowledgement that information put out as part of the military's psychological operations, or Psyops, is finding its way onto the computer and television screens of ordinary Americans."Information intended for foreign audiences, including public diplomacy and Psyops, is increasingly consumed by our domestic audience," it reads."Psyops messages will often be replayed by the news media for much larger audiences, including the American public," it goes on.***"Strategy should be based on the premise that the Department [of Defense] will 'fight the net' as it would an enemy weapons system".
And (who do you think will win the playoffs?) the Air Force is also engaging bloggers. Indeed, an Air Force spokesman said:
"We obviously have many more concerns regarding cyberspace than a typical Social Media user," Capt. Faggard says. "I am concerned with how insurgents or potential enemies can use Social Media to their advantage. It's our role to provide a clear and accurate, completely truthful and transparent picture for any audience."And (did you see that crazy photo?) it is well known that certain governments use software to automatically vote stories questioning their interests down and to send letters favorable to their view to politicians and media (see - as just one example - this, this, this, this and this). The U.S. government is very large and well-funded, and could substantially influence voting on social news sites with very little effort, if it wished.
The Bottom Line
Yeah yeah, people say this or that, whatever, I'm too busy to think about it.
Even if true, propaganda is too strong a word for attempts to convince people that important issues are boring, that no one else is angry about them, and that everything is normal.
Perhaps "herding the wayward sheep" would be better . . .
